The most popular All Peoples Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate for the 2028 elections, Alhaji Sheik Mohamed Omodu Jagaban Kamara has asserted, “my candidature is unique because my father is from Port Loko District, my mother from Tonkolili while I was born in the East and grew up in Freetown but all these areas have not produced a President. I am appealing to APC potential flag bearers to come onboard because if we allow the SLPP to win again it will be disaster for the country. Tele-centers are coming up all over the place when other countries are progressing. If the massive poverty in the country is affecting me what about you ordinary people in the diaspora?”

He has established three locations in Freetown where food is provided to the needy. A bag of rice is cooked daily. Food is also provided to mosques upcountry every Friday.
